When ‘Yes’ Means No: Understanding Infiltration as Refusal of Cultural Heritage Research in Palestine

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualises Palestinian infiltration—historically associated with clandestine border‐crossing after the 1948 Nakba—as a contemporary mode of research refusal within heritage research conducted under settler‐colonial conditions. Bringing scholarship on Palestinian infiltration into dialogue with literature on refusal, it argues ...

How Far Are Two Symmetric Matrices From Commuting? With an Application to Object Characterisation and Identification in Metal Detection

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1914-1942, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Examining the extent to which measurements of rotation matrices are close to each other is challenging due measurement noise. To overcome this, data is typically smoothed, and the Riemannian and Euclidean metrics are applied. However, if rotation matrices are not directly measured and are instead formed by eigenvectors of measured symmetric ...

Environmental Influences on the Detection of Buried Objects with a Ground-Penetrating Radar

open access: yesRemote Sensing
A tremendous number of landmines has been buried during the last decade. In recent years, various autonomous platforms equipped with ground-penetrating radars (GPRs) have been proposed for the detection of landmines.

A 2D processing algorithm for detecting landmines using Ground Penetrating Radar data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is one of a number of technologies that have been used to improve landmine detection efficiency. The clutter environment within the first few cm of the soil where landmines are buried, exhibits strong reflections with ...
